Paragon Software Group has launched The Talking English Dictionary for the iPhone and iPod touch. The most authoritative coverage of vocabulary in the English-speaking world is coupled with Paragon's advanced SlovoEd engine to bring premium dictionary content to iPhone users directly on the mobile device screen.

The Talking English Dictionary was tailor-made for the iPhone, with all special characteristics and unique features of the device in mind. The dictionary database contains more than 240,000 words, phrases and definitions in British English, and is the most up-to-date dictionary of its kind available on the market. No Internet connection is required – simply download once and use it without incurring any additional expenses. The "History" feature shows the last 15 translated words, and the "Cross-Lookup" feature is an easy check of language comprehension. For users wishing to take advantage of the premium audio abilities of the iPhone, a native British sound module of 20,000 words is available as well.

"We are pleased to include one of Oxford University Press's premium British dictionaries in The Talking English Dictionary," said Evan Schnittman, Vice President of Business Development at OUP.  "Oxford University Press has a 600 year history of being at the forefront of technology in scientific, linguistic and scholarly research. OUP dictionary content made available on latest-generation iPhones through Paragon's SlovoEd dictionary engine helps further that mission."

The Talking English Dictionary features rapid browsing through the SlovoEd engine, which compresses the dictionary content to a minimum of memory space while allowing the user to perform multiple learning, word reference and translation functions as quickly as possible. Now, users can find authoritative definitions with a single click without having to leave the active application and switch to the dictionary.

Paragon Software Group offers a wide choice of more than 120 dictionaries for 30 languages, and the best dictionary content from world-famous publishers. The product is available for $24.99 (19.99 € or ?14.99) from the Apple Store at
